William Savery was an American Quaker, an active preacher, an abolitionist and a defender of the rights of Native Americans.
In 1798, during his traveling ministry to Europe, he preached at a Quaker meeting for worship in Norwich, England, which was attended by Elizabeth Fry and this inspired her to follow a deeper Quakerism by working for the poor, the sick, and for radical prison reform.
